Default is this tire wear normal!?!?!?

ok, here are some pics of my tires, they seem to be wearing unevenly in a weird way. i just want to see if anyone else has seen this before. my jeep in an 08 2dr with 35in pro comps. i am running 35 psi. i have emailed pro comp but they arent much help at all. my first set i had before this one had no issues at all and i have not added anything to the jeep since then. btw i have had this set on for less than a year. i think next go around i will try something else! here are the pics

35 PSI seems a bit to much and that might be your problem. I have mud grapplers and I usually run 28 PSI in them. I recently went to 33 PSI since I've been driving alot of highway to see if I would get a little better gas milage and mine have started to cup. But I may be wrong on this.

Every time I change my oil, I rotate for that reason. Plus they will last a lot longer!

Can also be caused by a bad shock absorber. When bad it will look like diagonal bands all across the tire. Tires will feel squirely when it is bad; can be dangerous to drive because of poor tread contact with road. My DC FC IIs did that.
